In reply to antifud. Nope. It's Google-bundled garbage on my Motorola fone (made by Google, carrier is Republic Wireless) that I can only delete if I root the fone and fiddle with things that will make it unstable. Even then I can't actually delete it. It is being forced upon us. Your information is incorrect. (Sorry peeps for not obeying orders by replying but this post was supposed to be on another thread regarding the suit vs. Google re: using user's information across all platforms against their own privacy statements. This shall be my last input here.)

In reply to Eric Goldman. I actually posted this on a link about the suit that Google recently won re: using user information cross-platform. Don't know how it ended up on this thread. It was pertinent where I posted it.

Now Google is going to collect and store erotic dreams and put them in a public database. What’s next? http://dandygoat.com/google-to-digitize-and-store-users-sexy-dreams

In reply to antifud. This isn't a great place for this discussion, especially because it doesn't relate to Google Books. Let's declare the Android/OS discussion closed. Eric.

In reply to Pity Add. Google? Who says google is doing it? Almost everything they've made (and more day by day) has become more modular and less a part of the OS. That includes the keyboard, browser, etc. Or are you confusing AT&T/verizon/etc bundled garbage?

Would love to see a suit vs. Google for packing Android phones with apps that the user never wanted and which cannot be deleted. They are using Android to force their apps on users, the same way Microsoft used to use Windows to force IE on users. Justice Dept., are you listening? Or are you loving Google too much to hear?
